Everyone hurriedly followed Yunshang's pace and walked down the mountain. The mountain road was slippery, and Yunshang walked thrillingly. She almost slipped several times, but was supported by Qianliu and Qianzhuo.

After getting down from the mountain, it was already bright, and the road ahead was already extremely flat, Qianliu and Qianzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with Jincheng?"

Yunshang frowned tightly all the way, and when she heard Qian Zhuo's question, she said in a low voice, "The location near the top of the mountain to the southeast of Qilin Mountain is the Thousand Buddha Court. I was negligent before, and I didn't let anyone take the lead to take the Thousand Buddhas away. The monks in the courtyard took control. When we captured the top of the mountain, the last defenders on the top of the mountain set fire to all the tents. One was to warn the other seven points, while the soldiers who fought last at the end attacked southeast. There is also a possibility that there must be someone from the eldest princess in the Qianfoyuan, maybe even in Qiancheng. The fire on the mountain reported to the eldest princess's spies, and the spies must have rushed to Jincheng overnight to take the Report the situation on the side to the eldest princess."

Qianzhuo is still a little unclear, so, "The eldest princess will know sooner or later. Didn't the princess say that if the eldest princess's Tibetan soldiers are taken down by us, the eldest princess will have no way out and can only become a fish in the middle and a turtle in the middle. Shall we catch it?"

"Yes, the eldest princess has no way out, but if we want her to become the fish in the middle, we have to put the urn in advance and finish the weaving. Otherwise, if her messenger arrives in Jincheng before us, she Knowing the current situation, she will definitely make the final struggle. The only way in her hands is to kill the king and seize the throne in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and thousands of people!" Yun Shang's face was a little pale, I don't know if it's because of the cold or because of fear.

Qianliu and Qianzhuo were also taken aback when they heard the words. After a long silence, Qianliu said, "Princess, you mean that we only need to get the princess's spies to Jincheng first, and make preparations in advance to prevent What happened?"

Yun Chang bit her lip and said, "Not only must we reach Jincheng first, but we should also intercept the eldest princess' spies. And notify the imperial guards in Jincheng to be ready."

Qianliu bit her lip, as if she was thinking about something, she turned around and knelt down towards Yunshang after a while, and said, "Princess, give the order of dispatching the imperial guards to the servant, and let the servant go. The dispatch order of the imperial guards It is very important, the servant knows, and the servant guarantees that people are here."

Yunshang paused, looked at Qianliu, and was silent for a long time, Fang nodded: "Okay, I will arrange ten hidden guards for you, and the three hidden guards will be faster than you, and will arrive in every town ahead of time, for you Prepare dry food and horses. Four hidden guards will accompany you to escort you and the dispatch order of the imperial guards. The other three hidden guards will look for the eldest princess' spies along the way and wait for the opportunity to get rid of them."

Qianliu responded, and Yunshang said again: "I will give you my concubine's token together. After you return to Jincheng, go to the Duke's mansion to find Duke Hua, explain the matter clearly to him, and release the forbidden princess." The dispatch order of the guards was given to him, and he was asked to dispatch the imperial guards to find His Majesty's whereabouts."

Qianliu responded one by one, Yunshang sighed lightly, took out the imperial guard dispatch order and the princess token and handed them to her, then said softly, "I know you are worried about my body, and you don't want to let me I took a risk, and I will remember this friendship."

Qianliu cupped her hands towards Yunshang, and said in a low voice, "The concubine is the master of the servant, and it is the duty of the servant to swear to protect the safety of the master to the death, so the servant will go now."

Yun Chang nodded, Qian Liu turned around and got on the horse, and set off with ten hidden guards from among the hidden guards following Yun Chang.

Yun Chang looked at the backs of several people, then turned to Liu Ming and said, "Although Qianliu has already set off first, we should not delay too much. Let's go back to Qiancheng first, and then gather all the Imperial Forest Army and set off."

Liu Ming responded, and the group hurriedly set off towards Qiancheng. After returning to the small courtyard, Qian Zhuo immediately packed up his things, and set off only after the Imperial Forest Army assembled. It's just that the sudden appearance of nearly 200,000 troops surprised Qiancheng City Guard, hurriedly inquired about the news, and knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide it anymore, Yun Shang simply resumed her female attire, and asked Liu Ming to go out to meet the prefect of Qiancheng.

I don't know what Liu Ming and the prefect of Qiancheng said. Not a moment later, the prefect of Qiancheng scrambled into the yard, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Yun Shang, "Princess Rui forgive me, I really don't know that there are so many soldiers hiding around here, I really don't know."

Yun Chang hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyes fell on the prefect, she was silent for a while, and then she opened her mouth, her voice was slow, but with a suffocating sense of oppression, "Oh? The princess has only been in Qiancheng for two or three days, but I already know that your rice store in Qiancheng sells enough rice to feed 100,000 people every month, and there are only 40,000 people in Qiancheng, and you sold 60,000 more rice for no reason. The eunuch, you don’t even know anything about it? Shouldn’t this concubine be the eunuch in front of your Majesty? If you’re so dereliction of duty, why should you be the eunuch?”

Hearing this, the prefect of Qiancheng trembled like he was sifting chaff, "It's a long story. Since six or seven years ago, there have been many bandits on Qilin Mountain, who specialize in robbing passers-by of money and food. The lower officials are also leading people." We went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but those bandits were too rampant and there were a large number of them. We were defeated several times. The officials also wrote several times to respond to the State Shepherd, but the State Shepherd has been unable to do so. To solve this matter, fortunately, these bandits have never done anything excessive to the people who moved the city, so the officials can only muddle along, and the right is not aware of it. Therefore, the monthly grain sales are more than the actual grain consumption, and the officials I thought it was the work of the bandits around..."

"Heh... What kind of bandits actually have as many as 60,000 people? The prefect's excuse is really good. We have to go back to Jincheng to report to His Majesty. If the prefect has nothing else to do, let's step back first. I will explain the matter to His Majesty, and it is up to His Majesty to decide what is right and what is wrong. Commander Liu, see off the guests!" Yun Shang said indifferently, and ordered Liu Ming to send the prefect of Qiancheng out.

Not long after, the Imperial Forest Army had assembled, and Yunshang and Liu Ming went out of the yard together, got on their horses, and led the Imperial Forest Army straight to Jincheng.

Because of the presence of a large army, the speed of travel was slightly slowed down, and he was worried about Yunshang's body, so he simply found a carriage to let Yunshang rest in the carriage.

Although Qianliu was rushing towards Jincheng non-stop, she kept sending letters back along the way, reporting the progress of the matter.

The progress of the matter so far can be regarded as smooth. The dark guard who was looking for the messenger of the eldest princess has found three of the eldest princess's people, solved them all on the road, and found the letter on them. As Yunshang expected, the letter passed the news that all eight points of the Tibetan soldiers had been lost.

Yun Chang didn't know if the three were all the messengers, so he ordered the secret guards not to relax, and if they arrived at Jincheng, they would quietly lie in ambush at the gate of Jincheng, and if any messengers entered the city, they would solve it quickly.

Qianliu is also going all the way fast, and it only takes one day to reach Jincheng.

Yunshang and the others were still three days away, so Yunshang ordered someone to send a message to Qianyin, asking Qianyin to send out all the hidden piles in the city to secretly check for any abnormalities in the city. Collision. And ordered people to watch near the camp of the Imperial Guards, and when Qianliu gave the dispatch order of the Imperial Guards to Duke Hua, and when Duke Hua went to dispatch the Imperial Guards, if someone tipped off the news, he would follow closely A person trying to find the hiding place of the eldest princess.

On the third day, there were more letters in Jincheng, saying that Qianliu had successfully handed over the dispatch order of the imperial guards to Duke Hua. Guard camp.

Seeing the order, the commander of the imperial guards quickly dispatched all the imperial guards to conduct a comprehensive search in Jincheng.

On the day when the imperial guards were dispatched, a soldier in the imperial guard camp quietly left the camp, and was followed by a hidden stake arranged by Qianyin, but the soldier disappeared after entering a brothel in the city.

Qian Yin ordered people to search carefully in the brothel, but did not find the soldier.

Before the imperial guards had searched all the city, they were stopped by the Queen, Su Qi, Liu Jin and the Seventh Prince. While they questioned the authenticity of the dispatch order of the imperial guards in the hands of Duke Hua, they said that His Majesty's disappearance was implicated Very wide, once the imperial guards come out, the news will inevitably spread, and the court will be in turmoil at that time.

Yun Shang sneered, the ones who were really turbulent were probably themselves. The dispatch order of the imperial guards suddenly appeared in Duke Hua's hands, which was to show to the court officials that Xia Huanyu's favorite person was Luo Qingyan. They certainly wouldn't allow this to happen.

Fortunately, Hua Guogong has always been a person who likes to be restrained by others. Even if everyone is blocking him, he ordered the imperial guards to expand the search area without hesitation.

Yunshang heard the report from the secret guard, pondered for a moment, then turned her head to Qianzhuo and said, "It's only a day's journey away from Jincheng, and it's a bit slow to go with the imperial army in a carriage, so let me Prepare a horse, let's rush back to Prince Rui's residence first. Nothing will happen in such a period of time."

Qian Zhuo pondered for a moment before answering, found a horse, brought enough hidden guards and a small group of imperial guards, and hurried to Jincheng.

At dawn on the second day, I rushed to Jincheng. Because Qianyin had already received the news, she came to meet her early, but she was not blocked. As soon as she entered Jincheng, Yunshang went back directly through the back door. into Prince Rui's Mansion.

Mrs. Duke really stayed in the mansion, her eyes widened when she saw Yunshang, and she yelled, "Well, Ning Yunshang..."

Just as he was talking, he saw the butler rushing over in a hurry. He seemed surprised when he saw Yunshang, but he seemed relieved immediately, and said in a hurried tone, "Princess, you are finally back. There are people in the palace. It was said that the queen concubine told you to enter the palace, and the old slave was thinking about what to do with the duke's wife, but luckily you came back."\u003c
